No doubt because my beautyheaven blogstar article had way too many pictures (!), the looks below ended up on the bh cutting room floor, but I'm including them here because, well, it's the height of the party season, plus they were a big part of my experimentation with pastels rather than bold shades, and it would be a pity for them to not see the light of day....
Peaches 'N' Cream...
Gee I
reckon this is such a gorgeous shade for summer :-) essence
White Kajal as a base, followed by off-white (I call it oyster) from the DB
Bold palette along the top lashline, and shimmery orange (I call it terracotta)
from the same palette over the rest of the top lid and underneath…
Lime 'N' Lilac...
These two colours were made for each other.
This is essence
White Kajal as a base, lilac from the L.A.Colors Venus Baked Eyeshadow
palette, and lime green pearl (shade 5) from Makeup Academy
And just to complete the set here's the one that was published, and judging by the comments, seemed to be a fave :-)
Pink 'N' Teal...
Take care of you,
kats xxx
All really gorgeous, but my favourites were definitely the first and the third! Beautiful! xx
ReplyDeleteSo glad you like them Jas - I think I might have overwhelmed bh a bit with all the pics ha ha!
DeleteAll these pastel shades look beautiful on you, Kat. However, I'd have to say that I like the middle one best of all. The colours purple and lime green go well together. Also when one colour is obviously a darker shade than the other, I tend to use that on top of the lid and the lighter one below. For some reason "top heavy" appeals to me rather than "bottom heavy" whereas I regard the Peaches 'N' Cream as "balanced". Hope you get my meaning :).

Thanks so much for your lovely words AG - I understand totally what you're getting at, you're an artist after all :-) Balance is always my aim, but I don't always hit the mark - I prefer top heavy myself, but it doesn't stop me experimenting lol...
DeleteStunning Kats! Those colours look so beautiful and pigmented!
ReplyDeleteThank you Basmah - I work hard to bring out the best in any pigment, of course not all shadows are created equal, but 9 times out of 10 a good base can turn even a dud into a winner :-)
DeleteI love the pink and teal Kat :-)
ReplyDeleteThe colours blend so well together and look lovely beside each other. So pretty!
Thanks hon - I'm going to try this particular combo again, but reverse the colour positions. I often shy away from pink on the lower lashline, but this one is so soft and pretty, I might just be able to get away with it :-)
